Job Description and Duties

Are you a well-rounded HR professional looking to make an impact in a small, specialized agency? If you enjoy variety in your work and want to use your HR expertise across multiple areas, we’d love to meet you. We’re hiring a Staff Services Manager II (SSM II) to lead our HR team and help shape the future of our organization.

As our Chief of Human Resources, you’ll manage a team that includes an SSM I (specialist), two AGPAs, and one APA. You’ll report directly to the Assistant Deputy Director of Administrative Services and Performance Management, serving as the go-to expert for all things HR.

Our agency is home to about 66 employees (including contracted staff) and works with Bargaining Units 01, 02, and 10. While you won’t be buried in repetitive tasks, you’ll take on a diverse range of responsibilities that keep things interesting.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead and support the HR team, assessing needs and proposing practical solutions.
  • Stay current on HR rules and policies, ensuring timely communication to staff.
  • Guide management through progressive discipline processes.
  • Coordinate with control agencies (SPB, CalHR) on urgent HR matters.
  • Keep the agency “audit ready” for SPB reviews.
  • Manage high-level recruitments (CEA or Exempt).
  • Tackle unique, one-off HR challenges as they arise.

This recruitment has been posted for more vacancies than currently exist as it may be used to fill identical vacancies which occur with 180 days of the closing date of this bulletin.
